Refugees, Asylum Seekers & Immigration

Refugees, Asylum Seekers & Immigration

Educate your students on migration in Australia.

Our Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Immigration Teaching Resources  

At St Vincent de Paul QLD, we have created these National Australian Curriculum resources for schools to help students learn about refugees, asylum seekers and immigration.  

These Curriculum resources were created for teachers, to help them discuss the migration of refugees and asylum seekers to Australia in the classroom. Students will explore the history of Australia’s attitudes and policies towards migrants, asylum seekers and refugees since 1901. Topics include the effects of detention centres, an analysis of historical and current Australian policy, and multiculturalism in Australia.   

What The Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Immigration Teaching Resources Include 

You can access our school resources, including a Fact Book and Curriculum Map about refugees, asylum seekers and immigration, and a series of activities for students in Grades 5 to 10. These activities can be printed or completed electronically.   

For most social justice subjects, we also have A Teacher’s Guide to support the activities. If a guide is not available, this is because the students’ responses will be more subjective or creative.
